as far as i could tell, there was no analysis here. at least @gaga attempted some. maybe mtv should pay him/her instead of james.

I agree with what he said about how music videos dont get the type of response that lady gagas videos get. Its because her videos tell us something, in this case, she was showing us about tough female spirits. Her videos are never boring. She doesnt just dance around, looking pretty into the camera. She tells a story, and I'm happy shes been introduced to us!

MEANING OF BAD ROMANCE VID: ok, there are several different themes in this vid, first i'll start with the main theme: TRAFFICKING, which the whole video takes place in a Russian Bathhouse, that's why near the beginning it says "The Bath House of GaGa" and it is about sex trafficking, and how lady gaga was taken from the fame and thrown into trafficking by 2 models. Her in the bathtub with big eyes represents her innocence and purity and then they take her out of the tub and make her drink Vodka. Then she is bidded on while she performs in front of all those men (explains the guys gathered around & watchin while these computers w/ bids goin into the millions) then she is sold to one guy and is about to have intercourse w/ him unwillingly, but then he gets set on fire (i dont really kno why..lol), which i think, gives off the theme of tough-spirited women, as does the razor-bladed sunglasses in the beginning. Second theme is the theme of her new album, which is MONSTERS; the monster of fear, the monster of love, the monster of fame, etc. When she comes out of those caskets (which also are supposed to resemble eggs, which is the 3rd theme: Evolution, which ill explain in a bit), that's supposed to go with the theme of monsters/vampire-esc and she does those crazy dancin w/ her & her backup dancer's hands formed to look like claws to resemble monsters and also the part were she's all by herself in a dark part of the bathhouse and she's bent slightly over and her spine is protruding from her back noticeably which goes w/ the monster theme as well as the evolution theme. Finally, 3rd theme: EVOLUTION,which is wat her tour is gonna be based on, how u evolve and change and the eggs represent that, were lgaga & her "little monsters"/dancers come out of them and start dancin and their attire changes from white to blood red etc. the rest is just fashion statements and also product support (Lady Gaga earphones "Heartbeats", shoes by Alexander McQueen, etc.) Any other questions, let me kno!

I absolutely love this video, I adore it, it's nothing like we've ever seen. It is so artistically beautiful. However I don't understand it. What I kind of understand is the video is based before The Fame was released and when she came out of the shell at the beginning, she became a product of The Fame, is sold, and then at the end kills that one guy? which she does again to another guy in this video, but in Paparazzi. Anyone get the same idea or am I crazy, either way I love this video!!
